  1. Thank you. I am happy with the results. Not perfect but is as close as it can be for what is out there.
  2. I love the concept, and the slant 6 for realism is a perfect choice.
  3. The world needs more plow trucks. Great build. The Factory Snow 1978 Commander would have had a 318 or 360 and offered on the W150, W200, AND W300 trucks.
  4. I like it. And it is 4WD too. Very cool build.
  5. Great Bronco. I love the color.
  6. Great build. I love it. I have one built too. Too bad someone didn't make a wagon body and interior tub for those.
  7. outstanding work. I love the red interior with the blue exterior.
  8. Getting there. I still have to finish the small details and finish the plow.
  9. Great build history. That is dedication.
  10. This project started after I purchased a truck with a plow. The 1/1 truck is a 2000 K3500 RCLB with a 350, and 4.11 gears and limited slip. My wife's father had a very similar truck when I met her. She named it "The Big KB" After her father, Ken Butler. The 1/25 version started as the AMT 1992 c1500. I then purchased a long bed, cab and chassis from the AMT Monster truck, a headache rack from IceMan, fender flares from A Few Sprues Loose on ebay, wheels from Canuck3D, 5.7 350 TBI from a Revell Caprice, and a plow setup I am modifying to be removable from the Revell Plow truck kit.
  11. I love them all, but especially the M880. I am building one myself to go with what will be a M1009, and M1008 I have planned. Where did you get the dodge steelies, and tires for that build?
  12. Great build. I love the fact it is a manual, and the bumper sticker is neat.
  13. Calling both done. The van was a previously stalled project, and the pickup was one I found at Wal-Mart. I ordered an Iceman W/T grill, and went to town.
  14. I love it. I especially like the decals.
  15. I got the second color, and clear on this week. I was thinking about blue and white but decided on copper and white with matte copper wheels. A little bleed I guess I can fix with a stripe. Maybe orange.
  16. Calling it done. Kinda wasted money getting a v6 as it is not a TB 4.3 but an incorrect TPI version. Did find some under the hood detail parts like overflow, battery, and washer fluid reservoir. Made my own headlights by finding a picture online of a sealed beam, printing them out to the correct size, putting packing tape on both sides to protect them, and finally cutting them out and gluing them on.
  17. Had I known or even thought about it, I would have purchased another PL kit instead of the Revell kit for sure. The Herbie idea came after the fact while looking at ideas to paint it. I was hoping someone had the PL kit, but did not use their sunroof.
